Squirrel With a Gun: PS5 & Xbox Release Date, Gameplay, and More!

Squirrel with a Gun: This Quirky Platformer is Coming to PS5 and Xbox!

Get Ready for Some Nutty Fun: Squirrel With A Gun Hits Consoles!

Buckle up, gamers! The wonderfully weird indie platformer, Squirrel With A Gun, is finally coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on October 15th! If you dig chaotic, laugh-out-loud gameplay, this is your jam. The premise alone? Hilariously ridiculous: a squirrel, armed to the teeth, blasting its way through a town! Sounds crazy, right? It is!

Developed by Dee Dee Creations and published by Maximum Entertainment, this game is like a wild mashup of Untitled Goose Game and Goat Simulator—all wrapped up in a ridiculously adorable squirrel package! Think shooting things with an arsenal of epic weapons including shotguns, snipers and even rocket launchers while collecting those golden acorns which make this ridiculously unique style into an awesome platforming shooter experience! The initial PC release (August 2024) had some serious technical issues, including plenty of crashes, freezing screens and seriously slow loading times. Let’s hope the console version is super smooth, giving this awesome experience an even greater opportunity!

Why the Console Version Could Be a Game Changer

Those early PC issues really hampered Squirrel With A Gun's initial success and it could’ve become incredibly hard for casual players to continue once encountered and experiencing those terrible issues; this significantly affected those first encounters, making a largely forgettable first impression on new gamers and ultimately, this made continued play extremely difficult; even to just attempt to experience a simple story arc that might otherwise be enjoyable.

Luckily, those developers have shown an active response towards issues after initial launch and are addressing a large amount of issues; this commitment greatly raises anticipation and allows potential buyers some relief, especially when expecting that many fixes would greatly improve this initial gameplay experience that suffered because of early launch defects! This is an exceptionally smart business practice and one that should generate increased support when playing this game.

Squirrel With A Gun isn’t exactly a complex narrative, folks; yet what it lacks in depth and complexity it more than makes up for through those exceptionally fun moments! You'll spend a lot of time running, jumping, shooting and exploring, causing chaos, while collecting acorns using its awesome arsenal which gives the players opportunities to make gameplay incredibly variable depending on choice. The amazing creative marketing alone is hilarious—check out the live streams of real-life squirrels with toy guns on their website!

At $20 (with pre-order discounts on Xbox and for PS Plus members), it's totally worth it – if this can just finally deliver that consistently playable gameplay. If this console release fixes the earlier PC problems, it could become that next ridiculously big hit and a classic instant-hit, like Goat Simulator. Hopefully, those developer efforts deliver and really enhance the game and completely revitalize those opportunities available and greatly increase the entertainment quality and ultimately; greatly justify that price for everyone!
